Within the frames of the European Space Agency project EO Innovative Platform Testbed Poland (EO IPT) a vast repository of Earth observation data gathered by satellites from all over the world has been built in Poland. Polish consortium of CloudFerro and Creotech Instruments together with a German company Brockmann Consult has built an infrastructure and is responsible for providing services enabling commercial and scientific users to obtain and process satellite data.

The database infrastructure is accompanied by virtual and bare-metal computing servers where the commercial and scientific users can run dedicated applications.

Within the frames of the project CloudFerro and its partners have built an enormous repository of satellite data – right now there is about 5 000 TB (5 PB) of data available to its users. This is complete data from the whole period of operation and from the whole world obtained by satellites Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3, Envisat, Landsat-2, Landsat-5, Landsat-7 and the so-called ESA/Landsat-8, Sentinel-1 GRD data and selected data from Sentinel-1 SLC (Europe and surrounds).

Both the disk resources for EO satellite data and the computing resources will grow rapidl as the project is pushed forward.

EO Cloud Platform is available to all recipients in Europe

The European Space Agency (ESA) as the key recipient ensures usage of a considerable part of the platform for the next 2 or 3 years. Meanwhile, the CloudFerro EO Cloud platform is open to all other users both from Poland and the rest of Euro .

The platform is available at a fee, however, members of the scientific community are treated preferentially. Companies providing commercial services of processing data from the satellites will be able to use a dedicated system operating on the basis of the CloudFerro EO Cloud infrastructure.

CloudFerro EO Cloud is the basic tool for processing satellite data for the users in this part of the world.
